Welding Metallurgy
1. Weld Metal All metal melted during the making of a weld and
retained in the weld.
2. Weld Zone The zone containing the weld metal and the HAZ.
3. Parent Metal Metal to be joined or surfaced by welding.
4. Fusion Penetration The depth to which the parent metal has been fused.

5. Weld Junction The boundary between the fusion zone and the HAZ.
6. Root (of Weld) The zone on the side of the first run farthest from the
welder.
7. Fusion Zone The part of the parent metal that is melted into the
weld.
8. Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) The HAZ is the subject of continuing interest since it
involves a wide range of temperatures from the welding operation that can
significantly alter the base metal's metallurgy and associated mechanical and
physical properties.

Intercritical HAZ
Subcritical HAZ
The subcritical-HAZ includes the tempered area of the Fe-Fe3C phase diagram. Should
the base metal be in the tempered condition (i.e. quenched and tempered) the heat of
welding may be sufficient for further tempering, thereby reducing the tensile strength
and hardness in this region. There are no phase transformations which take place in the
tempered area since the lower critical transformation temperature is not exceeded.
